Slinky

The 26th of November is the anniversary of the slinky! It was first invented in 1943 but didn't make it to the shops until 1945. Here's the catchy slinky advertising jingle. Let's just hope that it doesn't get stuck in your head!

"What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, And makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, Everyone knows it’s Slinky…
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy
It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl and a boy

So, if you're bored and looking for something to do or just want a break from studying/homework, pull out your old slinky and bring it back to life!
